Micro element - Sound

In our opening we have used the following;

• Thomas Newman's Any Other Name
• A clip of bird song
• A clip of a choir
• A clip of a door slamming
• A small segment of Prokofiev's Romeo and Juliet Finale 
• A voice over of male character one speaking

There is not any actual diagetic sound. Additionally, we have not composed any music for this as we have not enough time and none of us are music prodigdies, sadly. The clip of the door slamming will be used at the end for the three jump cuts to create an impact on the audience, these sound effects or foley sounds will be synchchronous with the image. The bird song will be used to add vermilistude to the clip and the choir will add and air of 'mystery and magic'. Prokofiev's segment will be used as male character two is being killed, again to add impact, it will be overlapped with Thomas Newman's piece, which will be running throughout most of the opening. The voice over is included because the opening is male character one looking back on past events before his wife comes back, haunts his and eventually turns him insane (which is what the main film will be about). Were were going to use a piece by Danny Elfman, as he is one of Burton's most selcted composers, however we could not find a track that fitted in completley with our opening. This is WHY we used Thomas Newman's Any Other Name. Additionally, it had this wonderful melancholy and wistful type feel to it, the piano sounds beautiful.
